Singapore Passport Photo Size

Singapore passport photos must be exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white, saved as JPEG/PNG/HEIC/HEIF. Upload a photo below, crop it to the exact ratio, and this tool checks it against those requirements — aspect ratio, print resolution, format, and file size are verified automatically.

Reference data, not legal advice — confirm against the current official source before you submit anything. Head size, background color, lighting, and expression aren't checked automatically; that needs face-detection features this build doesn't include yet.

Photo size35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 in)
Size in pixels413 × 531 px at 300 DPI
Print resolution300 DPI minimum
Head height25–35 mm chin to crown
BackgroundPlain white
Max file sizeNo limit published in this reference set
File formatJPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF
SourceCommonly cited — verify. 35×45mm, white background, and the JPEG/PNG/HEIC/HEIF format list are confirmed directly from ica.gov.sg/photo-guidelines (digital spec: 400×514px). The head-size range was widened from a narrower earlier figure to 25-35mm because sources genuinely conflict and ICA's own page renders the number as an image rather than text — treat this range as a safe upper/lower bound, not a confirmed exact figure.

Only helps if your background is already one plain color (e.g. a wall) — this is color-distance math, not real subject cutout, so it won't do anything useful against busy or textured backgrounds.

  3. Adjust the crop, then review the automated checks — aspect ratio, resolution, format, and file size.
  4. Download the fitted photo, or scroll down to generate a printable sheet (4R, A4, Letter) if you need physical prints.

Frequently asked questions

What size does a Singapore passport photo need to be?

exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white, saved as JPEG/PNG/HEIC/HEIF. See the requirements table above for the full breakdown.

What is the Singapore passport photo size in pixels?

413×531 pixels at 300 DPI (35×45 mm). The tool sets this automatically from the DPI you choose.

What background does Singapore require?

Plain white. Photograph against a plain wall or sheet in that color for the best result — the "flatten background to white" option in the tool can help clean up a close-but-not-perfect background too.

Can I use a phone photo for my Singapore passport application?

Yes, as long as it's well-lit, in focus, and shot against a plain background you can crop tightly around.

Is there a file size limit for a Singapore passport photo?

No published file size limit is listed for Singapore in this reference set — check the destination site directly if your application enforces one.

How confident are you in this data?

Marked "commonly cited — verify" rather than "widely documented" in the requirements table above. 35×45mm, white background, and the JPEG/PNG/HEIC/HEIF format list are confirmed directly from ica.gov.sg/photo-guidelines (digital spec: 400×514px). The head-size range was widened from a narrower earlier figure to 25-35mm because sources genuinely conflict and ICA's own page renders the number as an image rather than text — treat this range as a safe upper/lower bound, not a confirmed exact figure.
